If you have any questions, comments, corrections, or suggestions just send me an email at joesatrianirulz@hotmail.com Thanks!! By the way, Glenda, if you see this, this is NOT the Van Morrison song. :o] |================================================| |Key | |================================================| | A.H. - Artificial Harmonic | | w/bar - use tremolo bar | | ~~~~ - vibrato | | P.M. - Palm Mute | |--(7)-- - ghost note | |--7h8-- - hammer on to the 8th fret, 2nd string | |--8p7-- - pull off to the 7th fret, 3rd string | |---x--- - chuck | |---/--- - slide up | |---\--- - slide down | |================================================| Riff A: It sounds like Joe is using a slight delay to play this, you might wanna try it. Or, he might have another guitar doubling this. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------3----------| |-4--------3--------4------6--4--3------4------3----4---6---------6---| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------15----------------------------------------| |-16---------15--------16---------18---16--15---------16-----15----16-| |--------------------------------------------------16-----------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------| |------15-------------------|-----------------------------------------| |-18-----------18-----------|-----------------------------------------| |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------| |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------| |---------------------------|-----------------------------------------| Chorus: The chorus consists of a bunch of slides, however, make sure you pick every note, or it won't sound right. |-------------------------------------------------------------12/19---| |-3/7/14-----8/15-----10/17-----12/19-----14/21-----15/22-------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| w/bar~~~~~~ push bar down slightly |-14/21-----14/21-----14/21--------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| Riff B: ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~ |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------7-----------------------------------7--10-| |-9---------6--------9------------9---6--------9----6--7--9-----------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ |--------|------------------------------------------------------------| |----8---|--------------------------------------------------------7---| |-9------|-9-----6-------9/12\11\9---6----------9------6---7---9------| |--------|------------------------------------------------------------| |--------|------------------------------------------------------------| |--------|------------------------------------------------------------| ~~~ |--------------|------------------------------------------------------| |-10------8----|------------------------------------------------------| |------9-------|------------------------------------------------------| |--------------|------------------------------------------------------| |--------------|------------------------------------------------------| |--------------|------------------------------------------------------| Chorus: |-------------------------------------------------------------12/19---| |-3/7/14-----8/15-----10/17-----12/19-----14/21-----15/22-------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| w/bar~~~~~~ push bar down slightly |-14/21-----14/21-----14/21--------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| |----------------------------------------------------|----------------| Now Joe goes into his solo. I'm still working on this solo, I think I've figured out the technique Joe is using here. What I think he might be doing is muting all 6 strings with his left hand and doing some weird vertical pick tapping/scraping with his right hand. I haven't figured out the whole solo yet but here's what I have so far. I got it as close as I could to what the cd sounds like.
